Here was our trusty boatsman through the Ranganathittu Sanctuary. He was a real nice guy. He didn't speak much English, just enough to know our names and where we were from but he didn't speak much Kannada with Shiva either. He patiently rowed us around to many interesting things and animals to see.

I found his look and the stark contrast of his facial hair to be very interesting. I snapped a series of shots when he wasn't looking and just sort of smiling to himself. I really like how natural his manner appears to be in this shot.
